Yer heard about that bloke, Got a little Joe Scuderi about him but a better hair-do. Best bowler i seen last year was a guy called S.Thomas. Strange action only had 1 arm( i think) but it was fantastic to see him playing with adults... Could easy have been disabled cricket instead.

[Vintage Red]

Will Bubner. Chucks them down pretty quick.

[helicopterking]

Aaron Galvin and Tarque Willimson would be the quickest ive seen in the hills
Maybe Stu Hanson in his day

Tarque Williamson is the only guy i know that has taken 44 wickets in 4 one day games! Just ask him!!

Quick ones:
Staunton from Woodville/port Adelaide: Angry Red headed fella who gets massive white line fever.
Harrity in the nets.
Ryan Sawade at 13/14 was ridiculous. No-one should have been bowling that qwuick at that age.

Brett Swain was a wicket taking machine. Was abit young to see him in action much, but he seemed to get wickets every time he bowled.

Roger Dugan, The Senior Sea Cow, is the best bowler I've ever seen.

Absolute gun! Swings it both ways and gets it down at a fair pace, really nasty!

[cokadonkeytoo]

Will Bubner. Chucks them down pretty quick.

Agreed Ryan Sawade & another bloke by the name of Stephen Rofe where the quickest bowlers i faced in the saca junior / shell shield comp by a fair way

Dwayne Jones from Central District when he wasnt injured.

Almost 7ft and very very sharp.

What day was that LOL. Na, seriously, Dwayne and I played a fair bit of cricket together, we used to bat 10 and 11 and open the bowling. Whenever our openers went in, we went and found the closest place to play 8 ball for a couple of hours.
He was very sharp on his day.

I had to face him in my first season at para districts - used to sh!t myself!

I remember at SAPSASA level facing an indigenous kid from Port Augusta known only as "Unjy" to me.
Could throw the ball from 10m over the boundary back to the keeper on the full.
Was a freakshow of a bowler. So fast at that age. So strong.

Came across many talented indigenous cricketers in the high school year 8-9 knock-out competitions. (not sure if they are still held).
Why are they all lost to the system ?

Faced Peter Gladigau when he was opening the bowling for SA back in the mid-80's and he was pretty swift. Shane George was sharp, but more likely to fell you with a bumper than rattle your pegs. Faced DeFreitas in the PADC nets many moons ago too - sharp, but a complete space cadet.

Faced George in the nets at Darwin in the mid 80s as 15 yo, off four paces he was still bloody quick, went down next summer season and made the Shield side. Missed Reeves when he changed from offies to pace (thank god)

In Darwin, six years ago, I 'kept to some spankers called McGrath, Kaspawicz, Gillespie, Tait, McGill and Warne at Australian centre wicket practice. Shit pitch so I was only 16 paces back for McGrath, Kasper and Gillespie but it was Taits first time with the Australian side so he was pinging them down. Learnt very quickly that I had to "give" with the ball more than the spankers I was used to 'keeping to in the D&DCA. When Tait lost control of his inny it was on your bike down leg-side, dive and yep fresh air again....

Warne freak - just rolling in easy and 2 foot breaking leggies, pitching out side leg, going around the batsmen and breaking past off with heaps of top-spin bounce. I could take McGill but Warne nup to good for this spanker.

what about bowlers from the g.s.c.a.?

faced dave burgess a few years ago was quick then and he would only have been quicker when he was in his prime.

Wal Hutch was quick in the mid 90s. At Wirrina and Port Elliot in two seperate games I was 22 yards back (admittedly on hard pitch) and taking them chest high. Problem with Wal was that he was eratic another game standing back 18 yards at Encounter bay he split the webbing of my new gloves as I went hareing down leg side.

Always good facing Wal from 20 yards at training with him coming from the shadows of the old pine trees that were on the Western side Pongy Oval

In over 20 years of senior cricket Wal Hutch is the bowler I've had to stand the furthest back for, includes the blokes mentioned above who were admitedly bowling on a slow drop in pitch at practice where all bar one weren't really pushing it.

Another one who when on song was extremley fast was Aaron Bevis from South Gawler, was a left arm very quick, lucky for us batsmen he didnt play alot cricket due to his football, he played league for CDFC.
